Pointless meetings

How many pointless meetings do we need each day to make sure that it seems that some people who should have been cut long ago have something to do? Unlike them, I don't have the luxury of wasting my time since I have more than enough to do for two people. I can definitely do without pointless meetings where we regurgitate the same thing over and over again.

In the meantime let’s have some more meeting about some back end system and launch a 2 year project!

“Enough complaining will drive change”
You mean change in your employment status?
Let’s be realistic … change can only occur if those directors are shown the door - which will not happen

@3ktt+1iJKxM4Z Fair enough, that’s true. We are desperately in need for a refresh and getting some younger/more progressive minds in there. Still, I encourage everyone to be vocal about these types of things. Enough complaining will help drive change.

@3gdj+1iJKxM4Z,
Yeah you zoomed right on the core of the issue “any manager worth a damn”
We have directors and above who I wonder how they got there in the first place… political skills are great but not much else. If one stops participating one may be singled out as the issue. It’s about blame and finger pointing. And revenge is swift. All MUST be in attendance. I guess some feel that if the audience is not big enough they don’t matter?
That type of behavior started in projects and is now widespread.

@2rur+1iJKxM4Z Not baiting you hah. Legit wondering why you’re going to pointless meetings. Maybe your office is different than mine but I honestly don’t see why you don’t stop going to meetings you don’t need to. Any manager worth a damn would work to help you get out of stuff like that if it’s truly pointless.

Done in GV ? I guess being taller will stop the ridicule heh?

Meetings in software are indeed pointless… dog eat dog and one has to be careful not to commit as the proverbial bus comes often.
How do you prove meetings are pointless when the whole point of those is to select who to blame and set traps? You can’t ! Find some PMO meeting to attend and go in circle then at least those seem amusing

Meetings are important this is why a PMO dwarf want to do a leg lengthening surgery using his large bonus. Always look tall which is difficult for the dwarf. But isn’t this a bit sick to do consider that? Well maybe very sick
Fat dwarf wearing a stomach belt want to be taller. I have now seen everything in rezi

Why are you going to pointless meetings? If this is a common occurrence for you, bring it up with the meeting organizers/your boss and get out of them and explain that it has no value.

Gotta make change for yourself sometime. Hope it gets better for you.

Listen if you actually did your job we wouldn’t need meetings to make sure you actually did your work. And anyone who claims they do the work of 2 people really does the work of 1/2 a person.
